My ascent of the KOM in Innsbruck on Zwift came to an abrupt end, when this happened:

I was, of course, standing on it at the time. Luckily this was on the Canyon, not one of my bikes with a standard geometry, so I didn't get my gonads reinserted forcefully into my abdomen. I did not escape unscathed, of course. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ada7c52795.jpg Definitely scathed. May be time to get some new pedals. |

I'm quite pleased. First ride hopefully Saturday night or Sunday. |
Note:
11 hours in a car with sciatica is less than desirable. Paying the price today. Visual approximation except I'm lucky that mine is bilateral. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6488fa3ffc.jpg |

Bonus. My new tires were in one of the shipments.

Thinking back on the history of these pedals, they were bought new in 2007 or so, then I used them on the Battaglin for 13 years. It was always my go-to bike, the one I would ride at my heaviest. Maybe 10,000 miles on them? Then another 1760 on the Canyon.
So I ordered 2 pair of Look Keo Classic 3s from PBK. As luck would have it, I now have 2 pairs of cycling shoes, so I'll just have to decide which shoes will go with which bikes. Funny thing is, when the pedal broke off my first thought was to swap on another pair of pedals from another bike and complete the ride. I probably would have been fine, but discretion is the better part of valor. |
Great, something else to add to the list of terrible things that can happen while riding a bike.

Why not buy regular oreos and slather on your own peanut butter if you are so inclined?

Time to ride. I am on call this weekend, and it's quite likely I will get paged during the ride. I will start out with a small group of friends, but will drop myself to answer the pager and finish the ride solo.
